Ris- ing costs have about discouraged him. Ie writes: “The main trouble today is that there are not the men available to build, and houses are standing around half finish- ed, that are just worked on at intervals. The tile people just told me they have ten jobs for two men and they have jump- ed their wages from $12 te $11 a day.” That is a rather interesting story in a country where bil- lions of dollars are being spent for so-called relief due to un- cmployment. FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY The “Glorious Fourth” can be just as glorious as we choose to make it. This vear the long week-end created by the holi- day will intensify the hazards which the Fourth always pro- duces. The watchword should be, “Take care!” Independence Day celebrates the independence of a nation. The coming week-end will demonstrate vividly the modern interdependence of people. Great streams of traflic pouring over the highways will show how essential are mutual regard and courtesy among drivers. Fireworks will demonstrate it too. A “firecracker thrown by another” is, according to the National Conservation Bureau, the greatest single cause of the tremendous number of fireworks accidents every Fourth of July. At the beaches and lakes, imprudent swimmers will again remind us that human life must be risked to save the life of a drowning person. Reasonable care divides a happy holiday from the tragedies which mar it. Reasonable care will insure vou, your family, and the other fellow against mishap. Tor instance: If you drive— sec that vour car is in good mechanical con- dition. Check tires, lights, brakes, steering mechanism, wind- shield wiper, rear-view mirror, horn. Drive skilfully, at a reasonable speed. Observe the rules and courtesies of the road. If you go swimming—swim in safc and protected places. Keep away from children and animals and buildings. Throw firecrackers away from people and inflammable materials, not at them. Never hold an exploding firecracker, nor set them off under a bottle or can. Cauterize the smallest wound immediatelyv—tetanus poisoning works fast and kills. If you go swimming—swim in saef and protecied places. Beware of strong tides and currents. Know your limits as a swimmer. Wail iwo hours after cating. Avoid shallow places. SIX STEPS TO RUIN Unless the constantly widening gap between government income and oulgo is closed, writes Roger W. Babson, one of the outstanding American cconomists, six financially ruinous consequences will result: “First, continued deficits ultimately lead to fear of govern- ment credit. “Second, unsound public credit means unwillingness to lend the government money to pay its bills. “Third, the treasury is forced to print paper money 1o pay its deficits. “Fourth, the paper money falls like a meteor in value as i prices shoot sky-high. “Fifth, the buying power of salaries, wages, savings ac- counts, insurance policies, and bonds drops to practically nothing. “Sixth, the ruined, starving middle-class lake the reins of = government by force to bring order out of chaos.” ~ Mr. Babson does not think it too late to put the govern- = ment’s financial house in order but quick action is essential. = On a per-person basis Federal expenses since 1860 have in- =~ creased from $2 to $55 a year. The average American family «of five has an income of $1,700. It owes as its share of the = soaring national debt, $1.375. In addition to owing this debt =it must pay $275 annually in Federal taxes alone. Only an =aggressive public demand for retrenchment and a balanced “budget can save us from the “six steps to ruin” Mr. Babson “describes. ping tnd 20 Years Ago 150 neighbors assisted in raising the barn on the farm of Isiah Gib- ble, near Manheim.

PA. Fake Racket Gets The Gate In New York (From page 1) Our inquiry was answered by oaths, curse words and other un- gentlemanly language, telling us how little we knew about driving and stating that we were respon- sible for an accident and erable damage to the New Yorker's car. We tried to discuss the matter with the chap in a very modest way but being unable to make any progress, alighted from the car, told the fellow he was either drunk or and invited him to get out we would imme- consid- crazy of his car and diately repay him for the cursing. No sooner than we finished the invitation, he very hurridly drove off and we have not seen or heard anything of him since. We noticed a left rear fender of his car was mashed and the hand- les on both doors on the same side were knocked off. The Racket The following taken from a New York City newspaper explodes the bubble: Fake accident have become so bold of late years in the city of New York that the has arranged io claim racketeers district attorney set up a permanent handle accident fraud cases. was bureau io Need for a permanent bureau re- vealed by the activities of a ial bureau which for some months past has been successful in convicting crooked lawyers, doc- tors, runners and fake injury clai- mants. Prior to the creation of the special bureau 73 per cent of cases on the calendar of the Supreme Court of New York were personal injury suits. Within a few months after the special bureau began to function personal injury claims filed in the city, court dropped nearly 30 per cent, and already a marked decrease has taken place in insurance rates. New York's special reau has benefited taxpayer and the honest litigant, but the public as a whole. Effi- cient functioning of machinery is no longer threatened spec- notably fraud bu- not only the by a growing volume of irumped- up injury claims and the pernicious activities of crooked practioners. Cities throughout the nation may probably follow the example set by New York. The accident racketeer is a parasite. His activities are a constant drain on the resources of the casualty insurance industry and rates to higher otherwize force insurance levels than would vail, thus causing every insurance buyer to help pay the bill. Hearty cooperation between the the insurance industry can mately eradicate the fake accident racketeer. The sooner his demise the latter. ll Ane When in need of Printing.
